Postural control, attention and sleep deprivation.

摘要: We investigated the effect of sleep deprivation on postural control during a simple reaction time task (SRT), requiring intermittent inhibition (IRT), and in absence concurrent information processing task. Postural sway, i.e. changes center pressure force platform, was recorded three increasingly difficult standing conditions (fixed sway-referenced platform with visual scene) information-processing conditions. Five healthy subjects performed tasks either after normal or following 24 h sustained wakefulness. As hypothesized, significantly increased sway only IRT condition. Within condition, across all
